Enjoying retirement
In The Red Rose County
The Yorkshire Dales....fantastic. We drove through Grassington this time and parked just outside Pately Bridge and walked into town along the peaty Nidd, seeing quite a lot of fish activity in one spot (no angler there). We were very impressed with the beauty of Pately Bridge with its steep High Street and brilliant shops and cafes. Quite a few 'snickleways' too. We couldn't resist buying a pork pie and a sausage roll from the very high-class butchers/deli and sat behind the shelter here at the top of town to eat..... Purely by chance we diverted on the way home to Ripley Castle and were very glad to have done so. The village green was marvellous, and it was nice to peek at the castle although we were too late for entry. The houses and cottages were elegant, but all estate owned and therefore for rent (beyond our levels) and not purchase. The Boar's Head did a nice pint and seemed to have a good reasonably priced menu for another time..........
